Lucy Hale on Why You Should Consider Trying Short Hair

She's living lob life.

Lucy Hale is having quite the year alongside her Pretty Little Liars costars, but she's been working on some pretty impressive gigs solo and just nabbed herself another beauty honor (she's currently the ambassador to Mark Cosmetics). She was also recently named Blow Pro's celebrity ambassador, and she probably has her flawless statement lob to thank for that. But apart from being the ambassador for some of the best dry shampoo and conditioner around, Lucy's killing it in the spotlight. She just wrapped up filming her indie comedy Dude, with yet another empowering crew of women, and the final season of Pretty Little Liars begins filming in March — crying face emoji.

While she may have one of Hollywood's most enviable haircuts, Lucy admitted to Teen Vogue that even she has had a few beauty regrets in her day. We met up with Lucy at Lord & Taylor to discuss how her hair fits her personality, the differences between her IRL and her character Aria, what the future holds, and what's it's like to be named the celebrity ambassador for one of the beauty world's top brands.

Teen Vogue: So you’ve had your short hair for a while now, is it safe to say prefer it over your long hair?Lucy Hale: One hundred percent, I really, I can’t imagine going back to long hair. I feel like it just fits my personality better.

TV: What would you say is the biggest beauty difference between you and your character Aria on Pretty Little Liars?LH: Our beauty routines are really similar but I would say our wardrobes are very different. She’s very eclectic and very…wacky. You know we’ve gone forward five years on the show so she’s toned it out a little, but she’s very loud, her clothes are very loud.

TV: Do you have any big beauty regrets since you’ve been in the spotlight?LH: Hmm. It was kind of before I was in the spotlight, but I’ve been through some weird eyebrow phases. [laughs]

TV: What about a look that you’d say you’re the most proud of?LH: I think cutting my hair! This little lady did it (pointing to her hairstylist Kristin Ess)

TV: With the five-year time jump, how would say your fans are reacting to the change?LH: I actually haven’t done much exploring online because I was a little nervous, but I think people are liking it. I hope so!

TV: And how do you feel now that you get to play her now that you’re closer in age?LH: It’s very exciting to no longer be a teenager [laughs]…yeah, I mean it almost feels like a new show in a way.

TV: How is it being back together with the whole cast and crew again?LH: It’s great! We start filming season seven in March, so yeah it’s good, we’re like a little family.

TV: You’ve been filming Dude, how’s that going for you?LH: Good! We wrapped it right before the holidays and it was very fun to do something new and different and exciting and fun. I think it’s gonna be really good, I’m really happy with how it went.

TV: What would you say is one of your favorite memories from filming Pretty Little Liars throughout all these years?LH: I can’t think of one thing in particular, but I guess just being able to become a family. We’ve been through highs and lows, we’re a tight-knit group.

TV: Once the show wraps, what are you going to be looking for when it comes to other projects?LH: I think film. But I would love to make albums and films, that’s the dream.

TV: What does it mean to you to be named as their celebrity ambassador?LH: I’m honored. You know, it’s very flattering. I love the company, I love the people that work for the company, they treat me really well, and I love the products. So, it just made sense.
